Brasilia: So, the Foreign Office just dropped a serious warning for Brits heading to Brazil. They’re saying there’s a high risk of terrorist attacks, especially after those explosions in the capital last November.
They really want everyone to stay alert and keep an eye on their surroundings. It’s not just about being cautious; they’re saying that groups might see Brits as targets. Yikes!
After those blasts at Praça dos Três Poderes, the FCDO is urging travelers to be careful, especially in big cities like Rio and São Paulo. They’re also warning about pickpocketing and theft, which is pretty common in touristy spots.
And it gets a bit scarier. They mentioned that some areas near the Amazon River are risky too, with criminal activities like piracy and drug trafficking happening there. Not exactly a vacation vibe!
They’ve even listed regions where they advise against all but essential travel. If you’re planning a trip, it might be worth checking out their guidelines to stay safe.
